Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among the given process which process has large rate constant and which has small rate constant should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The value of the rate constant gives an idea of how fast a reaction proceeds. A slow reaction will have a small rate constant; a fast reaction will have a large rate constant.
